The term ‘spiritual abuse’ has increasingly been used to name the phenomenon of abuse, coercion and control within religious and spiritual traditions and contexts. This conference provides a space for practitioners, academics, statutory agencies, other relevant stakeholders and survivor groups to explore the growing awareness of this phenomenon from multiple religious, spiritual and non-religious perspectives.
